Crystal Meat

　　In today’s world where material living standards are continually improving, fatty meat has become undesirable and unsellable, especially among middle-aged and elderly people suffering from high blood lipids and cerebrovascular or cardiovascular diseases, who often dread the mere mention of fatty meat. But according to research by world-renowned nutritionists and physiologists, if a person avoids fats for an extended period, normal brain activity and healthy growth can be greatly affected. This is especially true for children and adolescents whose brains are still developing; without an appropriate intake of fats, their brains may not develop or mature healthily. So how can we encourage children—and even adults—who dislike fatty meat to willingly consume it in moderation?

Here is a special introduction to making a dish called “Crystal Meat.” 1. Boil the fatty meat, remove the skin, and cut it into grape-sized cubes. Place them in a container. 2. Mix in white sugar, flour, and water to achieve a sweet taste—the amount of flour and water should be just enough to coat the fatty meat. 3. Sprinkle with an appropriate amount of sesame seeds and mix evenly; adding rose sugar is even better. 4. Heat the oil until boiling, then drop the meat cubes in one by one. Fry until golden and remove. They are ready to eat. Characteristics: Golden and shiny in color, sweet and fragrant in taste, not greasy or cloying—even children who are most averse to fatty meat find it very enjoyable. The meat cubes are crispy on the outside and tender inside, resembling crystal grapes, hence the name “Crystal Meat.”
